    I've got loads of poppies at the front of my house (the front garden), I planted poppy seeds. Don't worry I had to wait a long time for them.

    Do you have any white ones B-G? It's just that I've always wanted white poppies. :D If you have maybe we could do a seed swap if you're interested? I have masses of seeds that I could swap for them. :smt026

    Oh lucky you!!! :D I always seem to turn up at nurseries and garden centres when all the white ones have gone. :( I actually bought a pack of seeds last year that were supposed to be white - guess what - they were orange and yellow!!! Mind you I love 'em but still hanker after the illusive whites. :)

    I like a lot of flowers. It is very hard toi chose a favorite. I have a bunch of different Dianthus because I like them so well low growing along the garden path such as this Velvet & Lace one.

    Or this Chedder Pink one

    HUMM can't remember the name of this one but it is a double we planted on the edge of the East Garden.

    Another double.

    Bee Balm is a big hit with me too.

    The Velvet and Lace has to be my favourite without a doubt. It's absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen a Dianthus that colour before!!!

    Orchids unless I have to grow them

    Orchids are by far the most incredible of flowers, but I have no experience in growing them - only in appreciating them.

    If my favorite has to be something to be grown then Iris it is!
